Hmm...that road that goes up leads to Mine's road. I would be down to do that road one day with you!

That would be cool getting a couple of Zs going together.

I used to do that drive every other week back in the late 90’s early 2000’s. Very peaceful indeed, especially on a weekday! I do not recall it taking 4 hours though (my bad memory) and the back side is awesome if you know where the cattle guards are
;-)

I have some good snow pics of my old 300z while at the top and some ok shots of the twisties somewhere… I’ll have to dig those up and post them.

Yeah, 2.5 hours on the twisties. Can probably shave half an hour off that without the rain another 15-20 minutes if you don't stop for a break. Break at the top was real nice. Would of been better if it wasn't right in the clouds and you could actually see something. Maybe cut another 15 minutes on dry roads through 152. Cattle gaurds are all marked with a milemarker looking thing on each side. Also, most have a warning about 100 ft before it. Slowed down for each one. They get really slippery when they're wet.

Fun drive! are the back roads still in good shape these days? minus the wet roads of coarse... I, now, remember the back side would have icy patches as I recall. Did you notice any? I should really do this drive again in my new Z.

Here are some of the pics I dug up:

Heli-pad in the distance

Elevation change!
